First Batch of Story Books from selling Cupcakes

What else would I ask for.... These books are really awesome. Aside from having the English version on the other page it has a Tagalog counterpart on the other page... Isn't that amazing! It would be easier for pupils to read and understand what they are reading plus gaining both Tagalog and English vocabulary...

Really thankful to Angela Chua who scanned bookstores and buying just the right story books. I am imagining kids squatting in the floor reading it silently.

A Video Presentation for Adopt a School Library

I am really happy to have a circle of friends who goes above and beyond just to help other people. Leigh Maneja created a video presentation for the Project Mountain Alphabet Campaign compiled from the photos we have.

It is still our first school library to adopt but I am happy with the people working behind it to make sure it sails smoothly.

Adopt a School Library

At last after 3 long months of collecting books we are now on the last 2 months of fund raising and collecting books and cash donations. A team of volunteers will visit Colalo Elementary School and help them re-establish their library.

I am sure there are people out there who still wants to share their books please do let us know. This is a continuous project and I am really hopeful that someday we will have a drop off point for those who would like to donate their books at any given time.

Nonetheless, If you want to share your books please do let us know. You can also add us in our facebook page BOOK CAMPAIGN

Champorado

Champorado is an all time Filipino comfort food. I remember growing up, my mom used to serve a hot champorado during cold/rainy weekend. This sweet chocolate rice porridge uses glutinous rice or malagkit in local Tagalog term. Traditionally, we use chocolate tableya (pure cocoa) instead of the cocoa powder or powder chocolate.

Add condensed milk on top.

Click here to know more about International Book Giving Day

Three simple ways to celebrate International Book Giving Day!

1. Give a Book to a Friend or Relative. - Celebrate International Book Giving Day by providing a child a brand new or used books. This helps spreading the love of reading to everyone.

2. Leave a Book in a Waiting Room or Lobby - Celebrate International Book Giving Day by leaving a book in a room or a lobby where there are a number of children. So choose a waiting room where kids are stuck waiting like clinic, in house playgrounds. Choose a waiting room that has  few to no good books available. Purchase a good book, and deposit your book covertly or overtly in your waiting room of choice. The goal here is to spread the love of reading to kids, so choose a fun book, nothing controversial.

I really find black amusing for dress. I find it elegant, beautiful and sophisticated. With this next collection from Lyst I would like to showcase my top pick of beautiful dresses.

A dress that every woman should have is a black dress. This has become really at some point. So this year as part of my New Year best choices of black dresses provides a wide array of beautiful and elegant look that many women of today's generation would want to have.

New Year is a New Look: Affordable Elegant Wedge Collection

Some would say: "New Year is a New Look" and when we say "NEW LOOK" am sure it will always be connected to shopping! I am happy to share to everyone what Kessa had discovered online.

I love shopping online too.

New Year's Resolution

I am just another guy who hopes to have a better year.

I know that there are many reason why I should be thankful for the past year. 

I gained new friends, new experiences that would for sure make me a better me. 

Many may have prepared their new year's resolution. 

It could be a long list and logs of things to be or not to be done. 

Though I am not a fan of New Year's Resolution, I don't despise those who does. 

Actually this year, I only have one thing I need or must do for the whole year of 2013 and I think this would be my new year's resolution too.

This year, I will still continue what I have started last year, that is collecting books and distributing it to some unfortunate schools who doesn't have a library.

This year, I hope to make it big. I could collect good books and magazines and in the long run, I also I could bring some school supplies to the said school recipients.

I know there are people out there who have a kind heart to help. If you have something to share please do let me know. I always vacate my weekends for meet ups so I could start collecting those donations.

Together if we just help each other everything is possible.

Here's an article I wanted to share too: 2013 - New Hope

My Fruity Maja Blanca

Maja Blanca or others would call it “Maja” is one of my favorite dessert.  The original Maja blanca is made of mainly cornstarch, coconut milk and sugar.  However, thru the years Maja Blanca has evolved and different version has been created.

Before, Maja Blanca is actually serve on special occasions. Nowadays, Maja Blanca can be bought in school canteens, restaurants, and or even along the streets. For me, I would consider Maja Blanca as one of the Philippine Street foods as it is literally found anywhere usually together with other Filipino desserts like puto, kutsinta, and the like.

Tuna Escabeche

Escabeche is really popular among Filipino's. Filipino's came up with different variation. This time around I am proud that I have learned a new way of cooking Tuna. I am really excited visiting other houses during Holiday Season because I've got to learn new ways and techniques of cooking different Filipino dishes. They called it Tuna Escabeche Waray Version.
